Hi,

Has anyone tried the 13sec trick on the T610? I guess it would free up quite some memory since the welcoming greeting should take up _loads_ of space.

Yeah m8 just mailed you (and sorry just noticed you've mentioned the PAYG price already today, sorry, reply to my other Q tho plz).
Anyway, just done a search, and this is how to do the 13 sec trick:

Do the 13 sec trick. It wil just reset your phone but the sure thing is that you'll double your memory. Pre-defined items take so much in your memory. To do this trick go to settings then master reset then enter passwrd after you press ok count 13 sec then after that remove battery.

Its meant to free up memory, but have heard it doesnt work with the t610 [addsig]

Not too sure about that 13sec trick. Have had bad experiences with tips and tricks like that in the past

I have a plan/idea of how one might get the voda settings off:
Get it unlocked (think this is important)
Then when carrying out a master reset, one can tell when the phone has done the first bit (the SE bit), the screen goes black after the first loading bit, then before the phone starts up (and continues to load again, i think this is where the voda settings are put back in), take off the battery, and switch sims (so that when you switch it on again, it wont need to load voda settings - hopefully). Or take out the battery when it says loading.... try both.
I dont know if this works, just a wild guess May do, but think it wont, you never no.....

It works on a T310 right?
How much memory has that phone actually?
And does the trick free up ALL the memory?
Should i do the trick ammediatly when i get the phone? Or what?
The happy owner of a SE T310.
Genious phone..Compared to the phone i had before (Siemens C45)..

yeah i'd do it immediately when you get the t310 or you'll use all of your phone contacts etc.

It doesn't erase all the predefined stuff, it only hides it, and by this way you will get maximum of 100 kb, usually 30-50! The only thing you get rid of is the locked logo of T-mobile, Vodafone and etc. But it works..

Its a firmware bug, only solution is to upgrade the phone.

I tried the 13s trick last night on my 5 day old Vodafone Live! T610.

It worked...a bit

Here's what I had after doing it.

My Pics (can't delete these):
Flower, Rose, Voda Screensaver, Sky, Sand, Roses, Pebbles, Grass, Cracked Mud, Arrow, Ferrari, Butterfly, Idiot Jumping.

Plus all the 2 tone sms pics (bandit etc). These can be deleted.

My Sounds (can't delete these):
Relaxed Soul, Funky Pop, Ibiza Party. All the others are gone.

Themes (can't delete these):
Blue, Vodafone. Classical is gone.

Games (can be deleted):
Q*Bert, one other I can't remember, Mini Golf

The Vodafone Live! stuff is still there (GPRS / WAP settings too)

Once I'd deleted everthing I could, I had over 2000 KB free, but as the pictures loaded they ate memory.

myt610.com has all the original sounds, themes etc to download.

I put back on Old phone sound, 4 of my own sounds, 1 of my pics, Classical Theme, Pac Man, (kept minigolf), bluetoothed my contacts and calendar from my T68mi, and set up my BTopenworld e-mail.

In Memory Status I have 1559 KB free
Sounds 0 B (8 sounds - don't know why it says zero)
Pics 486 KB (14 pics)
Themes 146 KB (3 themes)
MMS Inbox 0 KB
MMS Unsent 0 KB
MMS Sent 0 KB
MMS Templates 0 KB
Games and More 22 KB (Pac man)
Games 67 KB (Golf)

Before I had about 750 KB free

I lost my chesswhizz though, and I'm not paying another £4.50 to get it again, so if anyone can let me have it...

This worked for my, but you do it at your own risk.

I took the back cover off and held the battery in place until 12.5 secs, then let it fall out.

Also, my T610 Vodafone Live! is R2C 03W19. I can't say I've noticed any hissing. The sound quatily is as good as my T68m (upgraded to R7A).

I'm quite happy with the phone, and the Vodafone Live! doesn't bother me too much as it only affects wap, which I don't really use. The Voda theme, 12 predefined pics and screensaver, are a nuisance, but with 1559 KB free I have more than twice as much than I had with my T68mi
